Single

So, I'm Single, But... Whatever

I'm single once again (don't even know if I should be even old enough NOT to be single). But, sometimes things happen for a reason. Maybe I wasn't cut out for to be romantic. Well, at least not for now. People always say this and then end up breaking it, but who cares. I'm totally going to focus on school and education right now and I won't ever be in a relationship again.

Ah. Young love.

Bad First Impression

So, there are a few different type of visitors right now. There could be the usual visitor (usually Tyler, Karina, Cecily, Amanda, Alec, Lina, and Michael), a random visitor (who just happened to stumble upon my site). Then again, it could also be my Discovery Humanities 8 teacher. Let me elaborate.

Last Humanities class (or something along the lines of that), we were assigned to just express ourselves on paper and hand it into the teacher in a letter kind of like piece of homework. Anyways, I did note that I thoroughly enjoyed creating websites and anything to do in the computer field of work, and I sort of blurted out at the end of the "letter" that I had a blog. So, if my teacher does read this, then welcome to Kevin Zou's blog of whimsical and magical things. I hope you enjoy your time here and visit again (this goes for any new visitors too). Let our wild journey begin.

Features Of My Blog

This blog is purely 100% just on the spot. I never put any thought before hand (and if I do, it's simply a mental note to write about a subject, I don't pre-write my posts), therefore my blog has an authentic and unique feel to it. Kind of like 100% pure cocoa beans.

I take a lot of pride in my blog (especially since my blog has more views than my music teacher's XD) and I put a lot of effort and work into it. It's not some assignment I dread to do. I love blogging and I hope that I will continue to blog until I die (by the time I'm too old to type, I'll just hire somebody).

There will be silly things here. I tend to blather on about things that are not very useful on this blog and have a knack for just simply blogging my day, when the day has been boring and I need a post up. I don't really have a strict schedule as to when I must put up a new post, but I try to put one up every two or three days.

Along with just getting to know the real me, you also learn some things that I call "public secrets". Simply put, those are just pieces of gossip of my life in this blog. I don't tell them to my friends, so if you read my blog, then you've got a nice little advantage of knowing exactly what may just be running through my love life, school work, or anything.

Not filtered. That's another word to explain this little project I've got going on. I never filter my ideas. I'm not afraid to say anything (although I must sadly admit that our generation has not hit that level of security and independence) on this blog unless I deem it completely worthless.

Speaking Of Our Generation

High school is really helping me out with putting more content into my blog. I see and experience new things at Alpha every single day. Some may be eye opening (and not just in the good way), some may be frightening (also not in the good way), and some may just be plain cool. Here are a few things I realized about high school.

One, it seems like to get through high school, you need a really well connected group of friends. In other words, popularity is happiness. It's a shame that our current world thinks like this. But then again, this is just my assumptions, and my assumptions have a 50% chance of turning out wrong.

Secondly, people act really stupid and reckless just to try and impress their friends. I saw a kid (well, we're technically all the same grade) who was just running around the band room and he was being completely and utterly stupid (no offence). Every now and then he would bang his hands on the piano and just do outrageous things. Every time he finished his little skit, he would look at his friend to see approval. It's sad to see that happen.

The last thing I'm going to talk about is the people there. Higher grades are really intimidating. For us grade 8's, it's super scary to try and steer your way in the halls between a bunch of students who tower above you and have passed puberty. Some of the more experienced students (sad to say little though) help us out (locker combinations, where to find a room) without being asked. Some students need urging to help us out, while there are just some students who are too intimidating to ask for help. I'm sure if I asked a six foot Alpha student in grade 12 where to find a room, he/she would help out. It's just the fact that most people don't have that type of courage to do that. So they stick with friends and try to navigate their way to classes.

That Was A Lot

I've completed my little rant on high school (not just Alpha), and I'm completely out of "word breath". Life is getting better. I'm growing accustomed to Alpha's halls and I think I'm really going to enjoy my time here.

For today, I would say I'm a 9. It's really because I just don't have anything bad in life going on. Also, T.G.I.F. I've been waiting for a break to reflect on my days in school and think about new ways to get through the halls, find a spot to eat lunch, and just other stuff like that.
